Our Promise

A recipe for change.

We want our path forward to be a model for the rest of the industry. We want to be market leaders in sustainable food; delivering locally sourced, plant forward and in-season menus, as well as working with our partners and suppliers to continually reduce emissions and food waste across our supply chain.

We’ve taken significant steps to improve our business practices and reduce our emissions, including training our teams on energy efficiency and recycling; and we will continue to make significant steps in the future to keep our emissions low and move forward in the most sustainable way possible.

We began this journey at COP26 in Glasgow. You can view the case study by clicking the link below.

NET ZERO TIMELINE

When we talk about Climate Net Zero, we mean reducing our carbon emissions by 80% by 2027, and neutralising our remaining emissions (so-called residual emissions) through high quality carbon projects in the UK & Ireland.
